The NFL is reportedly considering issuing a possible fine against 49ers star Nick Bosa after he displayed his white MAGA hat during a postgame interview on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”
Sources within the league informed CBS Sports that the NFL is “looking into” the incident involving Bosa, who pointed to his white cap with gold lettering that read “Make America Great Again,” as noted by CBS reporter Jonathan Jones on X.
“There will not be a determination on any potential fine until later next week,” he added. “I’m told there is no consideration for any potential suspension…Based on the timeline from a source, appears, if any, punishment for Bosa comes, it will be after Election Day.”
According to the NFL rules book, it states that on game day, “while a player is visible to the stadium or TV audience, players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the league office.”
“The league will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, mouthpieces, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns,” it added.
Bosa made headlines when he appeared in a postgame interview wearing the MAGA hat after the 49ers’ 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys during the Sunday Night Football game.
The NFL’s top defensive player then seemed to reaffirm his support for former President Donald Trump during a post-game press conference when asked about the hat, stating, “I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time,” as previously reported by The Daily Wire.
Bosa isn’t the only athlete publicly supporting Trump. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback and Hall of Famer Brett Favre took the stage with Trump at a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday, where he addressed Trump supporters about his reasons for backing the former president.
“I can tell you one thing, I knew I would come back to Green Bay at various times, but I never thought I would come back in this setting,” Favre said. “There’s never been a more important time in our lives than right now in this election.”
